Last week we sailed to one of our favorite spots, the Wye East River. We started out by spending two nights at Leadenham Creek while waiting for favorable winds. A waterman started working his trot line early in the morning the first day we were there and came extremely close to our boat. During one pass he assured us that he saw us (implying that he wouldn’t hit us). During another pass George offered to move, but the waterman said it wasn’t necessary. He was very friendly and seemed to be enjoying himself. While we were at Leadenham Creek we put the dinghy together so that George could test the outboard. He had recently cleaned the outboard’s carburetor and wanted to make sure it would still run! It started right up and ran very well. Once we had a good southerly wind we sailed out into the Chesapeake and north to the Wye East River. We spent the first night in a tiny cove that we call the “bump out”. We had stayed there once before and liked it. The current this time seemed stronge
